Bannon defended Moore by noting that he was a graduate of West Point who served in Vietnam.

“And by the way, Mitt, while we’re on the subject of Vietnam and honor and integrity, you avoided service, brother,” Bannon told the crowd. “You hid behind your religion. You went to France to be a missionary while guys were dying in rice paddies in Vietnam.”

Bannon then added that he was going to “get personal,” and attacked Romney’s children for not serving in the military, either. The Breitbart executive chairman claimed Moore “has more honor and integrity in a pinky finger” than Romney’s family has “in its whole DNA.”

“You ran for commander in chief, you had five sons, not one day of service in Afghanistan and Iraq,” Bannon said. “We have 7,000 dead and 52,000 casualties, and where were the Romneys during those wars? You want to talk about honor and integrity, brother, bring it down here to Alabama.”

Bannon, a former Naval officer, worked for President Donald Trump, an accused draft dodger, in the early stages of the Trump administration. Trump received five deferments from the Vietnam draft, four for education and one for bone spurs in his heels. The president told The New York Times last year that the spurs were “temporary.”

“I had a doctor that gave me a letter — a very strong letter on the heels,” Trump said.
